Every 10 hours of riding:
Clean the bike, including chain rings and
sprocket. Clean the chain. Check the tension of the screws holding the brake
disk to the motor.
Every 20 - 30 hours of riding
Squeeze the brakes and rock the bike to
check for any looseness with each forward or backward movement. If the
headset is loose, tighten it or have your dealer check it. Lift the front wheel
and rotate handlebars to check for tightness of steering, it may be necessary
to lubricate ball bearings. Check and recalibrate the brakes, replace if worn
out. Squeeze spokes in adjoining pairs between your thumb and index finger.
They all should have the same tension. Have your dealer re-spoke or true the
wheel if necessary. Check cables for rust, kinks and fraying, have your dealer
replace them if necessary.
Repairing a punctured tire
If you have a punctured tire, we recommend that you get a bike dealer to
repair the tire. You can always, of course, carry out the repairs on your own.
As there are no electronic components on the rear wheel, follow standard
procedures as with normal bicycles with internal gears. Read the Shimano
gear manual provided for more instructions. As the front wheel contains the
hub motor, there are additional steps in the case you require the entire wheel
to be removed from the bike. A philips head screwdriver will be required
to open the cable housing to first unplug the wires than run from the motor
to controller. There should be 1 x 6 pin connection and 3 color coded wire
connections (Blue, Yellow, Green). Unplug these before proceeding to
remove the front wheel. Be mindful of the tightening assembly sequence of
washers, nuts and spacers. In order to help prevent flat tires, we suggest you
add SLIME
R
tire sealant to both front and rear tires. This sealant is available
at most bicycle shops and is easy to install.
